As a week day ministry of Emmanuel United Methodist Church, we provide a warm, safe, comfortable Christian environment for your preschooler or Kindergartener. Starting at age 20 months for our preschool you have the option of one or two day a week classes. We also have options for preschool for two or three days a week, and we have three options for our Pre-K classes. Lastly, if your student is 5 years old by September 1, then we have a Christian 5-day a week Kindergarten class for him or her.
About the School
Emmanuel Christian School has established a preschool and Kindergarten to challenge and motivate children to a better Christian understanding of each other and themselves. We endeavor to prepare each child spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually for higher education.
Children will be given the opportunity to grow in each area through active learning. This applies to both the preschool area as well as the kindergarten classes.
Children will explore by using their senses, manipulate various materials, play and share, make choices, express themselves, listen, and be listened to. In short, they will learn by doing!
Emmanuel Christian School offers a clean, secure, cheerful setting for children to explore and learn. A loving, well-trained staff shares their time and love of God with the children in the preschool and kindergarten.
Weekly Learning Opportunities
Christian education, books, art, music, home living, math, language experiences, sharing, science, large motor skills, group time, stories, play, fine motor skills, and lunch time provide many learning opportunities and experiences.
Our Christian Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms are set up in learning centers, which are areas in the classroom where a collection of activities and materials are used to develop a certain topic, theme, skill or subject. Learning centers allow children to learn at different rates, to be curious, motivated by something new.
